Yes If we start JDK 1.5 you get all the rich features of JDK 1.5 plus most projects/customers
are moving in that direction.
For the part that "we will not support JDK 1.4" answer is yes and no depending on how you
look at it.
Yes, is we can use a retrotranslator to run in a JDK 1.4 environment. http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/
My vote would be to start with JDK 1.5 as Aaron suggests in this email. Writing code in JDK1.5
is so much different than writing code in JDK 1.4 and then running it in 1.5.
+1 to take the route of JDK 1.5 for Yoko.
thanks,
Adi
